Senior Recruitment Consultant in Bristol

Altius Talent is hiring a high-performing Recruitment Consultant to specialise in sales recruitment across the US freight forwarding and logistics industry. This is not a high-volume, low-value recruitment desk. You will focus on headhunting proven sales professionals, business development leaders and commercial executives for some of the most ambitious freight and logistics businesses in the United States. Our average placement fee is approximately £15,000, giving you the opportunity to build a highly profitable desk and earn substantial commission.

The Role

• You will manage the full recruitment process across sales and commercial appointments, including:
• Business Development Managers
• National Account Managers
• Vice Presidents of Sales
• Chief Commercial Officers

You will proactively identify and headhunt the strongest sales talent in the market, build long-term relationships with senior candidates and develop partnerships with freight forwarders, logistics providers and supply chain businesses across the United States. This is a true headhunting role. The best candidates are rarely applying to adverts, so you will be expected to approach, engage and influence high-performing professionals who are succeeding in their current positions.

What You Will Be Doing

• Building a specialist network of high-performing sales professionals
• Headhunting passive candidates through direct outreach
• Developing relationships with senior decision-makers across the US
• Winning new business and managing existing client accounts
• Qualifying commercial recruitment assignments
• Managing interviews, offers and salary negotiations
• Providing clients with accurate market intelligence

Why Join Altius Talent?

Altius Talent is a specialist recruitment business operating within the US freight forwarding and logistics market. Our consultants work on valuable, commercially important assignments with an average deal value of approximately £15,000. You will have access to:

• A strong and transparent commission structure
• High-value recruitment assignments
• Proprietary AI and recruitment technology
• Modern offices in Bristol
• Remote working every Friday
• Private medical insurance
• Monthly lunch clubs and team incentives
• Clear progression into senior, management and leadership roles

We want ambitious people who are prepared to work hard, take ownership of their desk and consistently deliver results.

Who We Are Looking For

You may already be working in recruitment, executive search, headhunting or a target-driven sales environment. You should be:

• Confident approaching senior professionals
• Comfortable working with sales targets
• Commercially minded and financially motivated
• Competitive, resilient and consistent
• Able to build credibility with senior candidates and clients
• Comfortable working US hours from the UK
• Motivated by high-value recruitment rather than low-level volume

What matters most is your ability to headhunt, sell, build relationships and perform in a demanding environment.

Earnings and Progression

This role offers a competitive basic salary alongside an uncapped commission structure. Because our average deal value is approximately £15,000, successful consultants can build significant monthly billings without needing to make a large number of placements. This is an opportunity to develop genuine market expertise, work with senior-level candidates and build a long-term career within a growing specialist recruitment business.
